Our guide (with the sunglasses) knew a lot about Salzburg and Mozart, and explained things very well. The weather had warmed things up a bit, so we relished the experience of not shivering.
Salzburg was first famous for its wealth from salt (Salz), and we learned that Salzburg was not part of Austria during Mozart's time. Note the folks sitting along the grassy banks of the Salzach River. It truly was a magnificent day.
A busy street in Salzburg, not far from where Mozart was born. As in Vienna, the streets were filled with people.
This is where Mozart was born, and where the Mozart family lived. We got to tour their apartment, where one of the documents on display made mention to the Mozart family returning from a visit to the Neumanns, close friends of the Mozarts.
Another street scene showing a cafe with folks sitting outdoors.
We were scheduled to tour this church, but had arrived too late. The iron gates were shut.
A magnificent view of the Hohensalzburg Castle.
An outdoor chess experience. We watched it being played for a few moments.
Choristers taking in the sights.
A moment to relax a bit.
Marilyn, enjoying the moment.
Our tour guide answers a question from Richard.
On the left one can see part of the original city wall.
